Breaking Can we end the single digit number nonsense?

Kind of reminds me of the Blackshirts. They give them out, the defense/player shits the bed so you take them back? Do they keep them because they are still the starters? What do you do?

Gifford should have lost his Blackshirt and Single Digit IMO GBR NFM.
 
I don't personally care about the single numbers. What I think is bogus is transfers being able to walk in and earn a blackshirt after being on campus for less than year, whether that's a winter enrollee, or summer enrollee. If someone isn't here for 2+ years and hasn't really really battled each day for a long period of time, don't even think about a blackshirt. I don't care what era we're in. If that means we do away with blackshirts altogether, cool, but someone whose transferring onto campus for like 2 weeks, for fall, camp, because they're a great transfer, doesn't deserve a blackshirt.

They’re for the defensive starters - if you show up and start, I don’t see how that’s less worthy than someone less skilled that takes two years to crack the line up.
 
Who do we feel lived up to their single digit status?

I'll say: Nash, Jimari, Buford, Robinson

Banks
I have a hard time with bc he refused to do 50% of what the coaches asked him to do (block)

Hill was an actual attitude problem at one point in 2024, yes?

Gifford had a terrible year.

Hartzog is 4'11'' and had to cover 6'3'' guys. But he got beat a town in non-height related situations.

Did you forget about Bullock?
 
It's going to be a hit or miss the first few years. It's when you have those returning players that you really know who is a leader or not.

Since we have had so much roster turnover, it's been pretty much going to the starters it seems. Some have been hits and some have been misses.

I suppose it means a little more in my head than yours

Yeah and TBH the only real odd one was Tommi Hill. He ended up quitting on his team. The single digit honor is supposed to be for the best leaders, hardest workers, highest integrity....you shouldn't have a single digit who ends up just quitting on his teammates. That's a yikes from me dawg.

Other than that the other ones mentioned just had bad years because they have limitations.
